Lucifer speaks through the leftists.
They are his puppets.

One man with a pistol on that roof could have prevented anyone from climbing up on it. Anyone approaching the building with the intent to get up there seeing someone already up there would have simply abandoned the idea.

Once was too much! Way too much.
But I think he assessed the situation faster than I would have and he’s eight years my senior. :)

They failed to kill Trump.
Correct. Come at the king, you best not miss.

Because it wasn’t inches, it was fractions of an inch.

The BBC has excellent coverage of this. They used an overhead view to show that the shooter was on a roof +/- 130 yards ninety degrees off to Trump’s right. I’ve seen the video of the event several times, and just before Trump grabs his ear, he turns his head to address the crowd on his left. Based on the blood spatter across his right cheek and lip, the bullet cut though Trump’s right ear from behind. Had he not turned his head just when he did, the shot may have hit him behind the temple.

👍 Occam's Razor says that your explanation is the only plausible one.
The Secret Service took out their patsy.

Don’t sell yourself short. I’ve been shot at. When the bee flys by you flatten and won’t remember doing it and you’ll be looking for cover. It’s amazing how instinctual it is. DJT is pretty quick. 👌

Anyone of us could have predicted this would happen. I said as much here.
The Democrats will start with their ‘’we must tone the rhetoric’’ bs. How quick they'd like us to forget that during Biden's campaign they paid bail for Antifa rioters and how Maxine Waters said in 2016 to ''get in their faces'' and how Sarah Huckabee was hounded out of a restaurant. These Democrat aholes have been ramping up the rhetoric AND the violence for some eight years now and this is the result.

They have succeeded only in further steeling his resolve and the resolve of his supporters.
I’d bet money on it and in fact already have by donating twice what I donated after his phony baloney NY “conviction.” That was quadruple what I had donated in Feb. this year and in June ‘23. He won’t quit and neither will I.

In my defense, I have far less reason to expect it than he does.
By an order of magnitude ... unfortunately.

Fascist authoritarians and anarchists always use violence and assasination.
To: PUGACHEV
It looks like the bullet grazed President Trump's cheek on its way to the ear.

Yeah I have to agree with you. There was no attempt of SS to get him off stage until he had been shot. Why not?
To: jeannineinsd
Given the collapse of faith in our institutions and the elevated emotions around this event,
the authorities must be completely transparent about what transpired at the rally and be absolutely certain that they are putting out only accurate information. The Secret Service officers who jumped on Trump performed ably, but there will inevitably be questions about how, according to early reports, the would-be assassin was able to climb a nearby roof with a rifle undetected by security while bystanders pointed him out.
The authorities and the media will do the exact opposite. They will hold back information and spike stories.
I have believed for some time that the police, the Federal security and intelligence agencies, our supposed poliical representatives, and the media know considerably more than what the release to the public.

An oligarchy is also a type of democracy, i.e. democracy as farce.
To: Sir Bangaz Cracka
Yours is an astonishing revelation, I have to check out that link. I was thinking vaguely along the lines of some kind of a set up.
I've lived through JFK's assassination, RFK's , Martin Luther King's;, the attempt on Reagan, the shooting of Steven Scalise and now this. The Democrats have been ramping up up the rhetoric and violence for almost ten years now. Not surprising this would happen. Rather predicted it.

Our SS guys should have been on the rooftop where the assassin was.

To: nwrep
Just the night before - on Gutfeld! - this was being discussed. The theme was that if the leftist politicians and media keep declaring President Trump is another Hitler, the he would institute a Fourth Reich, that he will put those who he disagrees with in camps (death or concentration) - than it would only be a matter of time before someone tries to assassinate him.
They also said that in the next couple months, Biden will be the victim of a slip and fall "accident."
